NEWS

  • July 2024

    We are thrilled to announce that our PhD student, Beatrix Fehér, has won the Best Poster Award at the 23rd International Conference on Ultrafast Phenomena. Her work on Light-field-driven currents in metals impressed the judges with its innovative approach and the potential impact on the field.

  • July 2024

    In our paper out in Phys. Rev. Lett., we demonstrated for the first time that by the unique combination of infrared laser sources and plasmonic nanoemitters,

    significantly enhanced rescattered electrons can be observed even in the multiphoton-induced emission regime, reaching up to 10 times the ponderomotive potential (10Up). For more details, see the original publication.

  • June 2024

    We have a new piece of hot electron research out in Nano Letters. We performed ultrafast tracking of hot electron populations on the nanoscale with the help of a novel femtosecond plasmonic probe wavepacket.

  • May 2024

    We are proud to announce that our postdoctoral research fellow, Václav Hanus, has been awarded the prestigious Couillaud Prize by the Optica Foundation. His plans to advance solid-state carrier-envelope phase (CEP) detection and explore its commercial applications earned him this honor.

  • August 2023

    We developed an on-chip carrier-envelope phase detector. For more details, check the paper in Nature Communications. Our simple chip enables 3D phase scanning AND sculpting without a vacuum chamber, with a resolution of ~500 nm!

  • December 2022

    For some hot results on hot electron probing with optical tools, see our paper in Nature Communications.

  • November 2022

    We are thrilled to announce that our research fellow, Viktória Csajbók, has successfully defended her PhD thesis titled “Interactions of Ultrafast Laser Pulses and Dielectric Media” at the University of Pécs. Congratulations Viki!

  • March 2022

    We published new insight into the famous tunneling process of electrons through potential barriers. Our results on nonadiabatic tunneling are already out in Nano Lett.

  • December 2021

    Benedek Nagy, a former PhD student of our group defended his thesis on ultrafast damage research on femtosecond mirrors and plasmonic nanostructures. Once again, summa cum laude. Congratulations on this great result and good luck for Dr. Nagy for his career in industry.

  • April 2021

    We achieved the control of optically induced currents in dielectric media with a record breaking repetition rate (80 MHz) and pulse energies as low as 300 pJ!

    Results are published in the leading journal “Optica”. For a more accessible version of the story, see the press release of the Wigner Centre both in English and Hungarian.

  • June 2020

    Our review paper “Strong-field nanooptics” is published at Rev. Mod. Phys. If you need a copy, just let us know.

  • May 2020

    Balázs Bódi defended his PhD thesis on high harmonic generation experiments and simulations, summa cum laude. Congratulations Dr. Bódi!

  • February 2020

    Our lab was highlighted on the TV show “Novum”. Watch the video in Hungarian.
